Description:
This leading industry publication, published out of New York, was founded in 1915 by Wid Gunning (who called his publication Wid's Daily until 1922). The Film Daily documented the rise of the Hollywood studios, the transition to sound, and the evolution of the American film industry (the paper finally shuttered in 1970). The Film Daily included feature reviews, news stories, and advertisements, but its extensive coverage of short films in the 1920s and 30s distinguished it from other trade papers of the period. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011/2013

14 tMA DAILY Sunday, November 17, 1918 Boost Star Big. They'll Sure Like Her In This The Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Alice Joyce in "EVERYBODY'S GIRL" Vitagraph Anybody that can't squeeze an evening's entertainment out of this is certainly in a bad way and isn't worth bothering about. Dog-gone it, it's human, it registers and it is certainly worth making a little noise about as a program offering. If you've been playing Alice Joyce's pictures recently, she surely must have developed quite a following in your community because they like her immensely everywhere I've been and she is sure delightful in this. In advertising this I would place a lot of ew\ basis on the name of Alice Joyce and tell them that this is a different role than she has been accustomed to playing. I would also mention the fact that the story is by O. Henry. You might word an ad like this : "They met accidentally. He was rich — she was poor, but neither was aware of the other's social or financial standing. She used to meet him in the park so he wouldn't see her shabby home. But one day he learned that she was living in one of the tenements that he owned. Then what happened? Not what you think. See Alice Joyce in 'Everybody's Girl.' " Or you might use catch lines like this: "What is the average girl's idea of a good time? See 'Everybody's Girl.' " "How can a girl tell when to trust a man and when not? See 'Everybody's Girl.'
